Prior to 9/1/2016, Charity Navigator issued Advisories under the name CN Watchlist and Donor Advisory.
For more information on the CN Advisory system click here. This charity was issued a DA.

This donor advisory was published on Friday, January 16, 2015

On November 23rd 2014, ABC-13, KTRK-TV in Houston reported that a lawsuit has been filed against Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston as well as a former employee of the organization. According to the article, former employee Carlos Antonio Valera was already convicted of indecency with a child and sentenced to 7 years in prison earlier this year. The article stated, "the lawsuit claims negligence of the organization and 'willful disregard for the well-being of others and cover up that has persisted at the charity for nearly a decade.'"

A spokesperson for Catholic Charities released this statement: "Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston provides a comprehensive network of social services aimed at promoting and facilitating self-sufficiency. We offer support and opportunities that empower people and communities to grow and thrive. In the course of caring for thousands of individuals, we periodically encounter challenges. In 2011, a former employee (who had been terminated by Catholic Charities in 2009) was arrested and charged for engaging in inappropriate behavior with a minor. Catholic Charities did not know about this young man's allegations until we received an inquiry from the Grand Jury. Catholic Charities fully cooperated with the investigation. The former employee was later sentenced to seven years in prison for his actions. Due to ongoing litigation, no further comments may be provided at this time."
